in cases where there is a police report associated with the accident event. Note

combination of police departments, state agencies, and industry sources, and a lack
of a positive match does not necessarily mean the vehicle has had an accident-free
history.

How does the Expense Tracking Report work?

The data used to display the graphs on the Expense Tracking Report is taken from the fuel and other expenses submitted on the Your Vehicles page. Simply tell us each time you purchase fuel or spend any money on your vehicle, and we'll record it for display on your Expense Tracker.
If you have added more than one vehicle to your account, you can select which vehicle data to display using the option at the top of the page.
